Probably that too, but specifically the ability to spin up a private space to communicate with people for things like video games. Anyone that’s using it as their means of customer service is an idiot.
Apparently I struck a chord with my post, so I’m curious what is better than discord, and free that made my statement controversial?
Also, I don’t see locking data from search engines as a bad thing. The fediverse isn’t search engine searchable either and Google, bing, etc, don’t natively have the right to index private data.

The fediverse not being searchable is one of the biggest flaws with it, and make it similarly ephemeral to Discord, except its actually worse because the sizes of communities are just in that goldilocks area of awfulness where there are echo chambers, and people are rude and toxic. Whatsmore, availability due to the small size is relatively mediocre.
Youre totally right. Spoiled brats deserve the enshittification they get because they are lazy and refuse to learn anything. And corporations LOVE that.
Maybe we should remove the internet and all communicate through mail instead. Be for real people aren’t going to switch to a worse solution for no reason
Valid, I’m here because fuck Reddit. I made a choice to use a more transparent and open service that has less features and less content because of that.
Sometimes we gotta think about our wants and think are they really a need? Or can we get by with less till the alternatives can get better. Imagine all the discord premium money that could of paid foss devs to make something better.

It’s not really that simple. I don’t need to convince my entire friend group to switch to Lemmy in order to get some use out of it. Best I can do is convince people to use modded discord clients like vencord and aliucord for most nitro features instead of paying for it.
I agree, but there has to be a certain bar of usability for it to be a viable replacement, since you need to convince other people to use it as well. Matrix is the closest one for me, but it’s not quite there yet.

Matrix?

IRC for chat and mumble for voice.
both of those are not remotely as feature rich or user-friendly as discord.
Maybe people are spoiled? How the shit did we run communities and shit in the past? Bring back forums

Why are we on Lemmy then?
Because I like using it better than the alternatives. That is not the case for discord vs whatever else.
